What if AI made doctors... more human?

This is one of the fascinating paradoxes explored in this episode: Dr. Samuel Gareau Lajoie, a family physician and co-founder of Vetted Medical, reveals that before AI, he spent his consultations with his back turned to his patients, his eyes glued to his keyboard, and that it is precisely technology that has given him back eye contact, allowing him to detect signs he would have missed in the past, such as clues to domestic violence.

Laurent Tillement, Director of AI and Health Partnerships at Mila, provides insight from a research perspective to distinguish useful innovation from "technology for technology's sake." This episode completely overturns the commonly held belief that AI dehumanizes medicine.

What if automating your processes actually accelerated your failure instead of saving you time? Martin Boivin (Hypertech) and Mathieu Bélanger (Parkour3) confront the technological enthusiasm for "automating everything" with some uncomfortable truths: 

• 50% of Gen Z associates an unexpected phone call with bad news. 

• And an 80-year Harvard study reveals that it is neither your cholesterol nor your wealth that predicts your longevity, but the quality of your relationships. 

Between the technological impostor who connects humans before machines and the specialist who refuses to automate empathy, this episode traces the invisible line between efficiency and digital loneliness.

Did you know that two competing electricity companies agreed to collaborate on developing an AI tool, simply because they realized that counting electrical outlets on a blueprint offers no competitive advantage? In this episode recorded live at the All In 2025 event, William Gélina Sylvestre and Thierry-Eliot Villeneuve from the Association de la construction du Québec (ACQ), accompanied by Hugues from Explorer, reveal the fascinating paradoxes of the Quebec construction industry.

What if the biggest obstacle to recovery wasn't the disease itself, but the time it takes to diagnose it? In this fascinating episode, Mohamed M. Diallo (founder of Bioeureka) reveals how his AI transforms days of incubation into analyses of less than 24 hours by simply "looking" at bacteria under a microscope, but not without first learning not to confuse a pathogen with, say, a green shoe.

What if artificial intelligence could imitate your voice so perfectly that even your most loyal listeners wouldn't notice any difference?

This is exactly what happened to Bruno Guglielminetti, a former Radio-Canada journalist, who broadcast two entire news bulletins using his synthesized voice without a single listener noticing. Alongside Jérôme Colombain, former France Info columnist, they reveal how they now process more than 1,000 articles a day using AI models trained on their own writing style, radically transforming their freelance workflow.

These two veterans of technology journalism, each with more than 25 years of experience in public service, demystify the use of AI in newsrooms, comparing its future widespread use to that of Excel: a tool that will soon no longer be mentioned, because it is the final quality of the information that counts, not the technical means used to achieve it.

In this first episode of Season 2 of IA du neuf, we explore how artificial intelligence is changing the way we design our homes and evaluate our neighborhoods. Did you know that in Montreal, living near the subway increases the value of your property, but in Dallas, it's exactly the opposite? Or that AI has to "relearn" architecture differently in Japan, where residents walk through their bedrooms to access other rooms, a practice unthinkable in the West?

Incomprehensible forms, rules that change without warning, deadlines that pile up... We're all familiar with these administrative headaches that complicate our lives. What if artificial intelligence could help us solve them?

In this episode, we meet Montreal-based experts who are tackling these challenges with concrete solutions.

In this episode, we meet Montreal-based experts who are tackling these challenges with concrete solutions.

In this episode, we explore an area that is often overlooked when discussing artificial intelligence: the public sector. How can cities and institutions use AI to better serve citizens while respecting their values and rights?

In this episode, we explore how AI is transforming two key sectors: mining exploration and recycling, navigating between optimizing resources and reducing environmental impact. From analyzing geological data to discover deposits more efficiently, to tracking recycled materials to guarantee their ethical origin and low carbon footprint, we discover how AI is reconciling industry and sustainability.

In this episode, we explore how AI is transforming the healthcare sector, navigating between the innovative boldness of Silicon Valley and the necessary caution of an inclusive healthcare system. Whether it's optimizing care processes, accelerating research into rare diseases, or discussing the impact of AI on employment, we dive deep into the challenges and opportunities of this revolution.

In this episode, we explore how AI is putting itself at the service of the planet, scanning the deep sea and underground infrastructure for a sustainable future. Whether it's detecting whale corridors to prevent ship collisions, or inspecting underground pipes to ensure their integrity, AI is proving an invaluable tool. With Emily Charry Tissier, co-founder of Whale Seeker, and Arnaud Zinflou, researcher at Hydro-Québec, we discover how artificial intelligence is becoming an attentive guardian of our environment and infrastructures, contributing to the protection of species and the energy transition. Among other things, we discuss the positive impact of AI on environmental conservation and infrastructure maintenance, bringing us closer to a safer, more sustainable world.

In this episode, we explore how AI is transforming sound analysis, whether it's recognizing an infant's cries to detect neurological disorders, or monitoring the vibrations of industrial machinery to prevent breakdowns.

With Florent Voumard from Ubenwa and Yun Yao from Soralink, we discover two complementary approaches where artificial intelligence becomes a listening ear to better understand and anticipate our environment.
